ANOTHER FIRE
At the Wheeling Hinge Factory Las
Evening-1he Ioss Ouite LARGE

At the Wheeling Hinge Factory Last
Evening-1he Loss Quite Large.
A few minutes after o'clock last even
ing an alarm of fire was turned in from
box "a, corner of Jacob and Nineteenth
streets, calling the entire department out,
the cause being blaze in the hinge fac
tory located at that point. The depart
ment responded promptly and soon had
streams of water playing on the flames,
which emerged from the front part of the
building in which is located the warehouse
and Office. By six o'clock, after good
deal of hard work, the fire was extinguished
but not until the whole front part of the
building was badly burned and
drenched with water The fire originated
in the warehouses on the ground floor,
and was caused by the overheating of a
stove in the front part of the room. The
wire cutter and other machinery was near
the stove, and it is supposed that the heat
ignited the oil'upon the machines, and as
the floor and everything was almost sat
urated with oil the flames spread almost
instantly to the woodwork.
The fire was discovered by q passerby on
the street, who noticed smoke issuing
from the windows of the warerOom.
Peering into the room he saw that it was
filled with smoke and he Immediately
called to one of the employees of the com
pany who was at work inside the building,
Hhnr -, o1n Dafn he
fire engines arrived the flames had spread
to the upper part of the building and had
done considerable damage to the stock, but
shortly after the arrival of the department
the blaze was gotten under control and
speedily eXtinguished.
The damage IS rather heavy, most of it
being from water The stock Of goods on
hand which was injured mainly by water,
will be gone over in several days, when an
estimate of the damage done, can be made.
As it stands now the loss would probably
foot up to something between 81, 600 and
s., 600, but of course no certain estimate
can be given yet. An attempt was made
to secure a list of the companies in which
the insurance is placed, but they could not
be obtained last evening. However ii is
understood that the larger part is placed
by the secretaries Of four Wheeling conf
panies, while outside companies come in
SOr a share.
As none of the machinery was injured it
will not interfere materially with the run
ming of the establishment. And this is
very lucky, as the books show several
months orders ahead, and more coming
every day.

HAPPY HUNTING GROUNDS.
Pittsburg Sportsmen Secure Over 10000
Acres In West Virginia.

Pittsburg Sportsmen Secure Over 10000
Acres In West Virginia.
PITTsBURG, January 8.-About thirty
members of the Sportsman's Association Of
Western Pennsylvania have organized q
company and applied for a charter to the
Governor ofWest Virginia. The company
has negotiated for the lease Of vast tracts of
land in that State, to be used as preserves
for hunting and fishing purposes. The
company has already leased between 80, 600
and 90, 900 acres in West Virginia, on the
Cheat river, near Winchester. The tract
extends from the Cheat river to Charles
ton, and is for the most part vast wilder
ness, abOunding in game, while the streams
which course through the territory are
filed with fish. Among the members OF
the new company are J. Palmer ONeil, c.
C. Scaife, J. L. HarriOtt, d. II. HOstetter,
Paul Hacke, James Bown, Geo. f. Paint
er, F. J. Painter and Edward Gregg, Sr.
The latter gentleman said to a reporter last
night: "The forests and streams OF the
new company's preserve will be well stock
ed with game and fish, in addition to what
is there already.
"The tract will be placed in charge of a
chief gamekeeper and several assistants,
who will have power to keep of all tres
paSsers and arrest them if necessary. 1t
will be conducted after the same method
as similar hunting tracts in Great Britain,
and will be for the exclusive use of the
members of the association. We expect to
get the charter at once, and hope to do our
hunting aud fishing there during the COM
ing season. 1t has been actually necessary
for spOrtSmen to lease exclusive domain Of
this kind, as game is getting very scarce,
owing to the growing population of the
State and the ravageS of amateur hunters.
We have also another tract of forest, located
about fifteen miles down the Ohio, and
containing about two thousand acres, which
we intend leasing in the near future for the
same purpose. Our company Is entirely
separate aud distinct from the Sportsman
Association"

that when the bridge company grants the

A Play to be Given.

1t is our pleasing duty to announce the
forthcoming play, "Fabiola," a Roman
drama in five acts, written by the late
Cardinal Wiseman, which will be per-
formed by the young ladies Of the Cathe-
dral on the 18th inst, at the Concert
Hall. The object is to defray the expense
incurred for charitable purpose, but it is
unnecessary TO call attention to the
merits of the object the beauty of the
drama or the skill of the performers.
These are well-known facts, therefore a
crowded house is assured. All who will
avail themselves Of the opportunity of en-
loving delightful entertainment will
at the same time aid the ladies in their
laudablc work. The drama takes US hack
to tue days of Pagan Rome, and is inter-
spersed with scenes serious, sad, humor-
ous and grand The costumes are fine.
The merits of those who took part in "A
Chinese Mother" need not further be
lauded

THE NAVAL BILL.

The Blind Partisanship OF GoT aud Bou.
teIle.
WASHINGTON. January Sin Commit
tee of the Whole on the Naval bill Mr..
Goff, of West Virginia said that the or
ganization Of the Navy Department was
on trial to-day-an organization which
had existed from 1912 down to the present
time, and which the Secretary Of the
Navy said was vicious and
ought to be abolished A system,
he submitted, which hail wrought
the great results which the present system
had was not and could not be vicious
Still it was to he tried. The Secretary was
the prosecutor; the Congress was the
Jury, and it was asked to condemn,
without single reason being
given, TO show wherein the
system was vicious The claim that the
bill would promote enconomy was false
claim. Instead of reducing the number of
bureau officers to five, the bill really IN
creased it 10 twelve.
He then proceeded to criticise what he
regarded as the most Objectionable leatues
of the measure, dwelling especially upon
the failure to provide that the heads Of the
bureaus, with the exception Of the bureau
of material, construction and repair,
should have any special fitness for
the duties assigned to them. TIE Presi-
dent called the navy shabby ornament. I"
The Secretary Of the Navy had declared
that its organization was vicious and yet,
after months of study and ses-
sion of analysis, the Committee
on Naval Affairs, brought forward bill
which gave the old system over again.
There was change only in the name.
Mr.. Buck, of Connecticut, strong
ly advocated the bill. He would
vote for any beneficial measure,
whether it was proposed 6y
by Democrat or Republican. He might
add that after the Republican Secretaries
Of the Nasy had for years recommended
Just this legislation, the gentlemen
from Maine and West VtEa.nla,
lMessrs. RoUtelie and GOff,J
said, I'VE must not do it now" because a
Democratic Senator recommended it.
These gentlemen seemed to be in favor OF
the Republican side Hopping because the
Democratic side had been Topping.
